weight loss and divorce | | I am wondering if anyone has had experience with weight loss affecting your relationship. I have lost 65 lbs and went from a size 24 to a 12 and find I am not happy in my marriage. I actually never have been but had the mentality that I couldnt do any better until finding some self esteem. My husband also has horrible jealousy issues now that other ppl find me attractive (not that I care thats the last thing Im thinking at this point in my life) The truth is, I was married 3 yrs ago because I got pregnant. Yes one of those and truth be told hes a good guy, a great friend and any woman would be lucky to have him. Any woman that is actually physically attracted to him and has some kind of romantic feelings for him that is which isnt and never was me. I gained so much weight and was 100 lbs over what I once was and decided I could forgo romance and physical attraction and all that for a stable home for my kids and such. however, lonliness creeps in and you find yourself miserable and always feeling empty and like something is missing. Now I just dont know what to do. I have always known one day I would get a divorce and maybe one day I could find someone that I love in that way but I hate to break up my home but I am finally trying to find myself again after sinking into such a depression that I never even left the house.
I guess I am just wondering if extreme weight loss and relationship probs go hand in hand? Anyone have any advice?
